With the weather being so unpredictable lately it’s all about the layers. Pair one of our must have jersey tops which are available in a range of colours and styles with a chic piece of knitwear. Complete the look with a pair of our jeggings or skinny jeans.

And finally congratulations to Peaches Geldof and Victoria’s secret model Alessandra Ambrosio who announced their pregnancies this month!

Gok, Louise, Grace, Laury, Trinny, Suzannah and every other notable stylist out there tell us to dress for our shape....and why should it be any different when you’re pregnant? So with the Xmas party season upon us, we have some great pieces to flatter your new silhouette.

1. The drape dress

This style was chosen by the buying team for its great shape when worn, the drape detail compliments your baby bump and the length is long enough if you don’t want to show too much leg. A definite maternity wardrobe staple to take you through the Xmas party season! Available in 5 colours, but this purple one gets our top vote!

So the weather is starting to change and it's time to think about Autumn, and we have some great new lines to see you through the unpredictable weather.

Superskinny jeans!

Superkinny is a new shape from DP Maternity and our £30 style comes in indigo and black. It's a great staple for your maternity wardrobe and with 4 way stretch is still extra comfortable. We have a lovely new top that can be worn with our superskiny, the navy spot top at £19.50 - easy to wear and the spots are SO on trend!

Also if anyone out there is in need of workwear look no further! We love this black stretch pencil skirt with over the bump band, which can be worn with minimal bright tees in pink or orange to bring some colour to your workplace!

So now the weather has set in and is here to stay! No questions asked!

Hope you’re all holding up ok in the heat? We have so much to celebrate over the next few weeks I had to kick it off with a bumper blog. If you have been lucky enough to receive one of the golden tickets (to the royal wedding of course!) then you will defiantly be needing a new dress (and shoes, and bag and, and...)

What do you think of these?

We have lots more maxi dresses and party dresses coming on over the next few months so keep an eye out!

Of course we have lots of easy summer pieces for those of us who will have to spend the next few weekends with family and friends in what will feel like endless BBQ’s and Sunday lunches (yippee!) Linen trousers are a must!

Easy to wear and look great with a pair of bling sandals and a cute tee - what do you think of these?

Hope this helps for now - have a fab Easter, Royal Wedding and May bank holidays!

Please don’t forget you can get in contact with myself and the team at maternity@dorothyperkins.com - let us know what you think - we love getting your emails.

Ok brace yourselves - I have lots to show you this week. We have so many exciting new things in I don’t know where to start!

First up - anyone for some easy weekend tees? We have these great Mickey Mouse motif tees in to get you in the summer spirit. As always we have ruched the side of the tees to allow for bump and put extra length through the body so you're fully covered. The only problem now is choosing which one to go for...

As promised a couple of blogs ago, we now have some new prints in our favourite vest shape - what do you think of these? We love them here at head office and thought you would too!

We have a great new printed tunic in. Easy to wear and easy to wash - it has a cute frill detail on the sleeve and a tie at the back to help fitting - will see you right through summer.

Finally (for now) We also have some great lace tunics that have just come in - at £28 they will see you through all of your summer socialising. Pop them on with some bright jewellery and they are quickly transformed into something special for the evening.

Hope this helps for now - and don’t forget you can get in contact with myself and the team at maternity@dorothyperkins.com - let us know what you think!

Not sure about you, but here at head office we are getting very use to this nice sunny weather - summer is only around the corner!

In preparation for all of the sun we are praying for, we have some great new casual jersey bits for you too check out. Keep coming back regularly, we have lots of new colours and shapes coming in over the next few months!

We also have the first of the printed vests coming in this week for SS11 - but keep an eye out, we have lots more really cute prints in this shape coming in to see your right through summer!

We have a couple of great things to show you this week and it is all about prints at the moment!

Firstly we have this great tunic shirt shape in the super modern floral print. It comes with a cami underneath so you don’t need to worry about it being too sheer, I think it will be a wardrobe favourite which will see you all through summer and beyond!

The other hardworking piece we have for you is our tile print tunic - great with leggings, or jeans if it is still too cold (Grr!) Again I think you can wear for all occasions to show it off as often as possible!

We have some great new summer dresses coming in really soon and also our summer casual jersey in all of the hottest colours for right now - so hang tight and see you soon!
